Diversity
is a core value and foundational concept in both the Department of Psychology
and Global Health. Catalyzing the power of diversity enriches all of us by
exposing us to a range of ways to understand and engage with the world,
identify challenges, and to discover, define and deliver solutions. The
Department of Psychology and Global Health prepares professionals to work in an
increasingly diverse and global society by promoting equality and justice for
all individuals. We actively work to eliminate barriers and obstacles
created by institutional discrimination.

Qualifications

We
seek a candidate whose research is in the area of maternal, adolescent, and
child mental health, with a global perspective. Example areas of research focus
may include studies that identify optimal approaches to the delivery of mental
health services for women, adolescents, or children in low-resource settings;
research that explores inter-generational transmission of psychopathology or
the influence of parental mental health on child development; or research
examining the predisposing factors (including social determinants), as well as
the genetic, epigenetic, and physiological mechanisms involved in adverse
mental health outcomes. Implementation science questions relevant to global
mental health and research testing innovative modalities—such as mHealth and
other technology-based solutions—to enhance access to preventive care and
treatment globally would also be of interest.

Applicants

the start of the appointment and a record of research productivity is
required.

position is filled, though applicants are encouraged to apply as close to
October 1 as possible to increase the likelihood of consideration.
